Extract fan cleaning in Quelm Park
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Around a smaller place like Quelm Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Quelm Park
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Extract fan cleaning around Quelm Park
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Quelm Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Quelm Park get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Quelm Park falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew or elsewhere in Quelm Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Sandy Lane Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Quelm Park questions
Do you work overnight in Quelm Park?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Quelm Park keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Quelm Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Quelm Park are carried out by Bracknell Forest council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Quelm Park.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Why act early in Quelm Park
A fan that sounds rough in Quelm Park is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. A site near Quelm Park that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
